Mason Lowry ( he writes the wormley round up in aces weekend warriors segment) from wrsc radio is calling the game that is being simulcast with ihigh tv. some of the replays make his voice sound a little disturbing but its a great game to watch.
first drive involved a Wormley sack.

BTN Interview:
Effects of Noon game on SDSU?
Disclaimer: If MODS think this isn't worthwile feel free to do as you wish.
With that said... I know in the NFL when a west coast team comes East they hardly come away victorious (see Oakland last week vs Buffalo 1:00 EST start). I don't have the exact stats but I know Vegas (for those people who do that sort of thing) also recognises this pattern.
My question is to what effect does this pose in college football, since it happens much more infrequently and even earlier start time. SDSU I am sure tried to acclemate with early practices, but Saturday will be a 9am start for them which would make for roughly a 4:30-5:00am wake up.
Is the success Brady Hoke enjoying due to his skills in football or management?
Speaking from the experience of 30 plus years of managing people both relatively successfully (current model) and unsuccessfully (younger version) I can say that Brady Hoke is running a virtual management clinic on the football team. He may or may not know as much about schemes and formations as other coaches but I defy anyone to look at his work as a manager since he was hired and not be impressed. To summarize some of the major things every textbook on management recommends and I've noticed he's done to date:
1. Surround yourself with superior talent - Clearly the hiring of Mattison was the big win for the staff but his remaining subordinates have excellent resumes themselves. Hoke was not afraid to put together a team that would challenge his football knowledge and direction.
2. Delegate authority - Once your staff is in place it is the excellent manager allows them the autonomy to make decisions without interference. I get no sense of Hoke "meddling" with either Borges or Mattison on player personnel decisions or play calling. He lets his coaches coach.
3. Be willing to make the "Big Decision" quickly and decisively - At the end of the Notre Dame game Hoke made the call to go for the win but gave the play calling decision back to Borges. By all reports Hoke made the call to run the play very quickly, thereby giving Borges time to decide on the right play without the added pressure of time winding down.
4. Motivate the troops and stay connected to your employees - At my company we call the CEO the "Chief Encouragement Officer" and he acts as such. Much has been made of Hoke not wearing a headset but I like it because wearing a headset puts you in contact with your coaching staff but blocks out the players. Hoke can talk to his coaches anytime he chooses in a moment's notice but by remaining headset free he's able to walk among the team, motivate, challenge and encourage as necessary. A great manager never loses connection to the people doing the job.
5. Accept criticism but deflect praise - While criticism has been sparse to date thanks to our quick start, whenever questions are raised at press conferences that are critical to the team's performance Hoke takes the blame fully and without reservation. Conversely, when praised, Hoke is quick to push the credit down to either his coaches or his players. Again a hallmark of an excellent and confident manager of people.
Hoke has yet to be tested by tough times but based on what I've seen so far I think he'll do ok. I am very impressed by Hoke's managerial skills and think they will serve him (and the team) well as the season progresses.

Editorial Reviews
Review"Rich Rodriguez never had a chance as coach of the Michigan Wolverines. He showed up with a glowing resume and got himself eaten alive. John Bacon's account of Rodriguez's epic failure is a cautionary tale for anyone who doesn't realize that being a major college football coach requires one to be part CEO, part psychologist, part carny barker, and all crazy." —Charles P. Pierce, author of Moving The Chains: Tom Brady and the Pursuit Of Everything"College basketball has Season on the Brink. High school football has Friday Night Lights. Now college football has Three and Out, which takes you inside the locker room to show you what it's really like to be a college football coach and player. If it surprised me—and it did—I'm sure it will surprise even hardcore fans. If you care about college football, you'll want this book." —Adam Schefter, ESPN"John U. Bacon is one of the best reporters/writers of my generation. Three and Out proves it. It's one of the most riveting non-fiction works I've read in years, in any genre. The eyewitness details from the locker room, the sidelines, and the most powerful offices on a college campus are breathtaking. Get this book. You will thank me." —David Shuster, Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist"John U. Bacon's report on the weird world of college football is eye-opening, and occasionally jaw-dropping." —George F. Will
Product DescriptionThree and Out tells the story of how college football's most influential coach took over the nation's most successful program, only to produce three of the worst seasons in the histories of both Rich Rodriguez and the University of Michigan. Shortly after his controversial move from West Virginia, where he had just taken his alma mater to the #1 ranking for the first time in school history, Coach Rich Rodriguez granted author and journalist John U. Bacon unrestricted access to Michigan's program. Bacon saw it all, from the meals and the meetings, to the practices and the games, to the sidelines and the locker rooms. Nothing and no one was off limits. John U. Bacon's Three and Out is the definitive account of a football marriage seemingly made in heaven that broke up after just three years, and lifts the lid on the best and the worst of college football.

On a personal note, this book has been life-changing for me. I have witnessed truly amazing results in all my relationships including one relationship which had been a great struggle for me for many years.
This latest edition of Dr. Rosenberg's book has a completely new chapter called, "Connecting Compassionately with Ourselves." It's about what he calls, "self-compassion." He writes, "When we are internally violent towards ourselves, it is difficult to be genuinely compassionate towards others." I enjoyed this chapter because it helped me translate my self-judgments into statements of my own unmet needs. I now see that when I am angry with myself it is because my actions were not in harmony with my values. Seeing things from this perspective helps me mourn my action and move into self-forgiveness by connecting with the specfic need I was trying to meet when I used a strategy that I now regret. I particularly enjoyed the section on translating "have-to" into "choose-to." The exercise showed me how to locate the choice in what I do, by connecting with the need, want, or value each activity serves. I find I have more energy, more compassion when I experience choice in my life.
/Nonviolent Communication/ is a rather easy read. This is both good and bad - good, because you're not slogging through lots of academia-speak and technical jargon; but also bad because you might breeze through the book too quickly to truly absorb the rather useful and insightful information it is offering.
The idea behind the NVC process is rather simple - it's mostly about learning to be more precise in expressing your feelings, their cause(s), and what you would like done to resolve them. Rather than saying "you never clean the !@#$ kitchen," the NVC approach would be to say something along the lines of: "When you do not take out the trash in the kitchen, I feel __________." And so on. NVC also encourages you to be receptive to what other people are saying and feeling, even if (or perhaps especially if) they do not word things with as much precision and care.
The approach is very sound, but I have reservations about the way the book presents it. Most of the example conversations are so unbelievably robotic, at times I just wanted to laugh out loud at how absurd they were. My initial thought was that I was being unreasonable - after all, they're just words on a page, and perhaps they would seem less laughable in person with real emotion behind them. And then I realized that was the key that was missing - the conversations were little other than the facts of the situation, and the exact words the people said. There was no emotional context, no insight into the feelings that were being expressed. I found this to be extremely ironic.Read more ›
Now for some context. In the last year, I've read about twenty books on emotional intelligence (EQ) and related topics. (If you're unfamiliar with the term, just think of EQ as "socio-emotional fitness". It can be roughly divided into self-awareness, self-direction, social perception and relationship management.) Good intellectual frameworks for understanding EQ have been easy for me to find; practical instructions for increasing your EQ seem rather more rare. (By "practical instructions" I mean pragmatic action plans with specific things to DO, not just project proposals with goals to accomplish. It's a shame how often the latter is presented when the former is needed.) In my reading experience, "Nonviolent Communication" is THE premiere how-to guide for improving your performance at doing empathy, which is one of the fundamental competencies of EQ.
Third, a caution in the form of a metaphor. The author is proffering you a diamond while demonstrating an oddly formal way of holding it. Just take the diamond and ignore the formalities. That is to say, other reviewers have pointed out that he uses some rather stilted language at times, and that's true; but, the phrasing is NOT the point. The remarkable insights are what matter.
Fourth, an idiosyncratic recommendation. One of most amazing ways that this book helped me was by teaching me how to empathize with my OWN needs.Read more ›

Looking for advice on equipment
About to take the plunge from my my backyard propane grill to something I can cook shoulders and ribs with using wood/charcoal. Would appreciate anyone reporting their experience with entry level equipment. I need to spend as little as possible but don't want to waste $ on junk. I have been impressed with the BGE that a friend used but seems pricey for the size and difficult to move.
I vote for building a UDS. Not alot of $$ and cook great!!
How much do you want to spend?
You can do very well for about $600 or a bit less with a Weber line gasser and a WSM!
Spend the bulk on a Weber gasser and then make a drum for real cheap.
I'd go for a WSM. Right around $200.
There are quite a few options that you can go with for entry level and most of the people on this site will probably suggest the Webber Smokey Mountain you can get one for around $200 and it is a very good cooker.
I started on a weber grill and then moved my way up to a New Braunfels Bandera, and now I have a Backwoods smoker. I really like the design of the bandera and learned a lot about fire control I also found this site looking for info on the internet.
This group was founded due to a smoker called the Bandera and it may be the smoker for you. I still use mine all the time and does well with the criteria you mentioned. The BSKD is a clone that does quite well too.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the WSM and the UDS is mainly a charcoal with chunks smoker, not a wood burner.
I'd recommend a WSM as the ideal starter smoker for someone looking for low maintenance.
If you like experimenting and process, go with an inexpensive Bandera etc..
Moving to even a Bandera or another offset etc. requires a committment to learning all the adjustments, patience and time to do it all when tending. If you just want to get the food done right, with no scratching of your head, then go WSM.
You have come to the right place
if you check below you will find the UDS show room
now I must warn you, although no one is trying to sell you anything ...
the UDS is a gateway to smoking , and once you take that step you will forever be changed ....
The UDS can be a top performing Smoker, Do not mistake the fact that with only:
You will quickly know, if smoking / BBQing is just a passing interest or a growing addiction with out investing more than you might spend on a nice dinner
if it is either of the two, the brethren here will support you on your quest for the Q
There is a high probability that once you assemble your first UDS you will be drawn into what real Q is about and you will spend a lifetime and large sums perfecting it.
all I can offer besides the forgoing disclaimer is that with a decent "rig" that fits your budget and allows you to get smoking / BBQing quickly and well. you will find your balance and may move to more expensive and feature packed rigs - many of the best smokers available have representatives / dealers / users that are regular contributers to this forum.
you can't go wrong with a building a UDS, you may always use it or you just might end up with a monster rig that is the envy of smokers near and far.
What he ^^^ said.
Seriously, I'm getting ready to build a UDS with the kind help of some of the Brethren here. I figure even with having to buy some handtools, I'm out maybe 50.00. A UDS can probably be done for 20.00 or less. (if you are good at recycling.)
Used Banderas show up on Craigs list from time to time. Could be your best, low cost bet. Would also be a fun project to clean it up and make it your own with some mods.
There are many entry level smokers that can turn out great Q. As mentioned the Bandera, BSKD, WSM or UDS are all great units. With a few mods the CharGriller with a side fire box is also a great unit.I have had much sucess with mine. I also love my UDS. They are both feeling very neglected right now as I can't quit using my new BGE.:biggrin:
What everyone here says. For my money I would go with the WSM. You cant go wrong with the Bandera or the UDS. It is all dependent upon which way you want to go, set and forget (WSM/UDS) or play with fire (Bandera/Chargriller/Silver Smoker). Either way will lead you on a great and exciting journey.
I'll chime in too.
Personally I would start with a SM. I started with a Brinkman offset and I still use it, but the WSM is far easier to use.
The only reason I say WSM over a UDS is if you decide you don't care to do Q (requires too much time, etc...) you will have no trouble getting rid of the WSM. If you get to that point, you just ship it to me.
Man law?

Getting people to like you is merely the other side of liking them.
Norman Vincent Peale (1898 - 1993)
Contributed by: Zaady
No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities – always see them, for they're always there.
Get the heat and emotion out worry, and put cold, ruthless scrutiny onto the problem, and worry loses its power. When we are worried and filled with apprehension, we become panicky and are likely to see only gloom and failure. There isn't any situation so bad that it won't become a lot better when you think rationally - and spiritually - about it. God gives you the ability to think rationally about things by filling you with peace and faith.
Source: How to Handle Tough Times by Norman Vincent Peale
It is a fact that you project what you are.
Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure.
The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
There is real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.
Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities - always see them, for they're always there.
Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems, you don't get any seeds.
Worry is a peculiar thing. It is like a dust storm on a hot day. You can become confused and lose your way. I was in Wichita, Kansas, some time ago, when I had to fly to Cincinnati. A friend sent me in a private plane. When we were crossing the Mississippi River, the sky grew hazy. "We can't see where we're going,"I said to the pilot. He replied,"We'll go up above the haze-level." "What's the haze-level," I asked. "Ground heat, dust, and smoke combine to form the haze-level. We'll go up another thousand feet and get above it." We did and emerged into an altogether different world, clear and beautiful. The pilot commented, "Life is something like this, isn't it? Down there they are groping in the haze. Up here, we have clarity and can see our way. Next time you find yourself bogged down in anxiety and worry, say to yourself, "I will not be disturbed by this thing. I will look at it coolly and logically. I will rise above the haze-level." You will find that your worry has lost its power.

Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
The EXST Cubs and EXST Giants split a simultaneous doubleheader played at Fitch Park this morning, one game on Field #1 and one game on Field #3. Both games went seven innings.
Unfortunately, I watched the game that was played on Field #3, and that was the one the Cubs lost 9-1.
I don't have much information about the game played on Field #1, other than the Cubs won, Cedric Redmond threw one shutout inning, Josh Lansford Gian Guzman, and a 4th pitcher threw two effective innings each, Chris Weimer blasted a HR, Robert Bautista hit an inside-the-park HR, and Jae-Hoon Ha smacked a triple over the centerfielder's head.
In the game played on Field #3, three of the four Cubs pitchers struggled, and the only Cubs run scored on a bases-loaded walk, while the Cubs could not score after loading the bases with one out in one inning, and with runners at 1st & 3rd and one out in another inning.
Also, catcher John Contreras had a really bad day defensively. (Contreras was converted to catcher at Minor League Camp, and although he also still plays 3B and 1B on occasion, he's really a DH who is dangerous no matter what position he plays in the field). .
The (good) defensive play of the day on Field #3 was shortstop Dwayne Kemp's spectacular diving stop & throw from behind 2nd base, cutting down the batter 6-3. Kemp has shown he has the range and arm to play SS and 3B in addition 2B (his "natural" position), and he can play LF, too (he played there some last season), which means the Cubs could move Kemp up to Peoria if they decide to promote "supersub" IF-OF Josh Harrison to Daytona at some point in the near future.
Here is the abridged box score from the game played on Field #3 (Cubs players only)
1. Hak-Ju Lee, DH: 0-4 (K, 1-2 FC, E-4, 1-6 FC)
2. Dwayne Kemp, SS: 1-4 (1B, 5-4 FC, 6-3, K)
3. Matt Cerda, 2B: 0-3 (BB, 4-3, F-8, 1-3)
4. John Contreras, C: 1-3 (5-3, 1B, F-8)
5. Sean Hoorelbeke, 1B: 1-3 (6-3, 1B, P-6)
6. Jesus Morelli, LF: 2-3 (1B, 6-4-3 GIDP, 1B + 1 R)
7. Kevin Soto, CF: 0-2 (BB, K, K)
8. George Matheus, 3B: 0-2 (BB, F-9, 3-1)
9. Sean Williams, RF: 0-1 (BB, 3-U, BB + 1 RBI)
1. Cody Hams - 2.0 IP, 3 H, 3 R (2 ER), 1 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 1/3 GO/FO
2. Adam Spencer - 2.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R (2 ER), 1 BB, 2 K, 4/1 GO/FO
3. George Pineda - 0.2 IP, 6 H, 4 R (4 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 3 WP, 1 BALK
4. Rogelio Carmona - 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K, 2/2 GO/FO
1. 2B Matt Cerda - errant throw to 1st base, allowing runner to reach base safely, eventually leading to unearned run scoring.
2. 1B Sean Hoorelbeke - attempted pick-off throw bounced off glove and into right-field foul territory, allowing runner to advance to 3rd base.
John Contreras: 0-3 CS, 3 PB
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
Yikes, sounds like a tough one to watch.
Speaking of Harrison, what's your take. He's got that great BA, a little lucky on batted balls (only 14% LD's), and he doesn't seem like much of a base stealer, but is he a little guy that puts a charge into the ball or just someone who's got on a hot streak?
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
I do wish Harrison took a few more walks. That said, it's not like he has bad discipline, so this is probably, like Vitters, a case of the pitching in Peoria not being challenging enough for him. He makes me think Mike Fontenot (in a positive way). Not the best athlete out there, a smaller guy, but a guy with pop in his bat and a smart baseball player (for that matter, that sounds like Dwayne Kemp as well, but I'm assuming Kemp is a bit more athletic than the other two guys, although Harrison did handle shortstop while at Cincy, IIRC). I'll be curious what AzPhil says - for me, I think his numbers are "real" in Peoria in that he's too good for the level (thus, more than just a hot streak), but in comparing him to Fontenot, I also don't think Harrison is a guy who's as good as his numbers in Peoria, if that makes sense. If the Cubs aren't planning on giving him regular time at a MI spot (and with Flaherty/Lake, that's unlikely), I'd like to see him at Daytona. First, he'd give a charge to that Daytona lineup. 2nd, he might see more IF time there.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
Az Phil, is Cerda still doing some catching or is he now a 2b? Thanks.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
Phil, one more thing. Have the Cubs had any prospective draft picks at Fitch for workouts?
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
Thanks. Hope your wish comes soon, and hope he brings Vitters with him.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
I wouldn't mind if the Cubs swapped Marwin Gonzalez and Josh Harrison if they don't feel Kemp is ready. I'm glad the Cubs gave the toolsy Gonzalez a chance to break out, but he hasn't done it yet, and sending him to Peoria might not be the worst thing if they don't think Kemp is ready.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
From ESPN.com, Glavine cut by Braves, is pissed off, wants to pitch...
Cubs might be able to use a veteran lefty starter for added depth...
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
I doubt Glavine would sign anywhere that he doesn't have a clear shot to the 5th starter's job. As well as Wells has pitched, along with Marshall in the background, I just don't see it. Not against it (Wells could be used as a trade asset to fill something else perhaps), but I don't see us going after him.
I could see the Phillies take a run at him for depth, and I think Glavine would be intrigued about staying in the NL East. Maybe the Brewers (good mentor for Manny Parra perhaps)?
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
But Carpenter's better than both of them, so it all worked out!
McLouth to Braves...
for Charlie Morton, Gorkys Hernandez and Jeff Locke...
Re: McLouth to Braves...
I think it's a fairly solid deal for both sides. I like Gorkys Hernandez enough. I'm a fan of Jeff Locke and think he has "2/3" potential. Not so big on Morton, but he's an upper level "ready" arm. I guess I'd give the Braves a slight edge for not overpaying this early in the juncture, but I think the deal makes enough sense for both sides.
Re: McLouth to Braves...
Wasn't Hernandez one of the guys they labeled (laughably) untouchable when they were after Peavy?
Are the Braves gonna play McLouth in center? That's going to make them yearn for the fat Andruw Jones.... now that I think about it, why didn't they just trade for him?
Re: McLouth to Braves...
Don't think Texas is going to move Andruw right now.
Gorkys, best that I can recall, was available. One package suggested that he would be going there, along with a "ready arm" like Charlie Morton and perhaps another piece or two. It was Jordan Schafer that was untouchable.
Re: McLouth to Braves...
There was one article out of the Journal that listed 5 guy as 'untouchables'.
Re: McLouth to Braves...
Without knowing the article, I'd guess it was Tommy Hanson, Julio Teheran, Freddie Freeman, Jason Heyward, and Jordan Schafer one ... it might've been referring to Yunel Escobar, who was featured heavily in Peavy rumors. Just guesses. Hanson and Heyward are two of the top prospects in the minors, Teheran was a big time Latin American upside arm, Freeman came off a huge year as a first baseman (although I wonder if he has plus power), and Schafer was viewed, even with the PED suspension, as a top tier talent. For comparison's sake (just my opinion, as rankings are really as much for discussion purposes as anything else) - Heyward/Hanson, entering the year, were above Vitters (both have had excellent seasons, although Vitters has closed the gap somewhat), while entering the year, guys like Schafer/Freeman would've challenged for top 3 in our system, if not ahead of Vitters, and Teheran probably would've slotted in the top 7 -10 based on upside.
Maybe there was an article that said Gorkys was off limit, but I don't recall it at this moment.
Re: McLouth to Braves...
"The Braves also would like to keep elite center-field prospects Jordan Schafer and Gorkys Hernandez, possibly envisioning a future outfield of Heyward and Schafer flanking speedy Hernandez.
It remains to be seen whether the Padres would deal Peavy without getting at least one of those prospects."
Google is your friend.
Re: McLouth to Braves...
read the article
the above sentence
"Five-tool outfielder Jason Heyward and 17-year-old pitcher Julio Teheran are considered close to untouchable prospects, and pitcher Tommy Hanson and slugging first baseman Freddie Freeman might not be far behind in terms of being off limits."
They specifically note the guys that are considered untouchable, and then comment on these two later. I know there were several news articles that said Tommy Hanson was untouchable, which was understandable after his electric AFL. I don't rule anything out, as winter rumors are still rumors, but check the winter news on Braves sites, from DOB's blog to other places. Most indications were that Gorkys was being shopped, with one package with him being a key element involved involved.
Re: McLouth to Braves...
btw, yes, I know that was a DOB article, but it was from October, when people were just speculating.
Tom Krasovic (one of the beat writers out there)
"As part of Jake Peavy trade talks in November, the Padres and Braves were far along on a 4-for-1 plan that included shortstop Yunel Escobar and center fielder prospect Gorkys Hernandez. The Padres wanted the Braves to include starting pitcher Charlie Morton instead of Jo-Jo Reyes and pushed hard for either pitching prospect Jeff Locke or catching prospect Tyler Flowers to be substituted for reliever Blaine Boyer. Talks regressed from there, and the Braves later traded Flowers to the White Sox. According to mlb.com, the Braves now would be unwilling to deal Escobar, described by teammate Chipper Jones as the best shortstop in the National League. Whether Peavy would consent to a trade to Atlanta also remains in question, though if the Cubs are out of the picture, it can't hurt those chances."
Re: McLouth to Braves...
From Dave O'Brien, Braves ajc beat writer whose article you used above
"The Braves need him. The Padres need to trade him. The Braves have offered the best package for Peavy including a very good young, affordable player in shortstop Yunel Escobar, who could turn out to be a star and will almost certainly be no less than a solid major leaguer for many years to come. They would also likely give up center-field prospect Gorkys Hernandez, who is at least two years away but who has legitimate big-time potential, according to every scout I've talked to and opposing managers in the low-level minors."
There was this obviously wrong report from Scott Miller of cbssports
"Under terms of the deal discussed by the Braves and Padres, San Diego would receive shortstop Yunel Escobar, Class A outfielder Gorkys Hernandez, one of two starting pitchers -- Charlie Morton or Jo-Jo Reyes -- and either reliever Blaine Boyer or one of two minor-league left-handers (one of which is believed to be Jeff Locke)."
From Ken Rosenthal - suggests Gorkys was not untouchable
"The Peavy Sweepstakes (cont.)
The Padres again have asked the Braves to revise their proposal for right-hander Jake Peavy, requesting that the team substitute Single-A catcher Tyler Flowers for Single-A center fielder Gorkys Hernandez, according to major-league sources.
Yunel Escobar's stock might have fallen in the Braves' eyes. (Jeff Gross / Getty Images)
Flowers, 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, is tearing up the Arizona Fall League, and the Braves probably are unwilling to part with him in the same package as shortstop Yunel Escobar and either right-hander Charlie Morton or left-hander Jo-Jo Reyes. Frankly, they're not thrilled with trading any of those players."
Buster Olney - Gorkys was a key part of the package.
There's probably other articles, so if your still not certain, I'll try and dig through and spend a minute or two and find some more later.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
Glad to see McClouth out of Pitt.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
I agree. Nice to see he is out of the division now. Great trade by ATL.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
I am too, but I think the kid they're bringing up tomorrow is going to be a huge pain in our ass for quite some time.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
If they all hit their potential the Hernandez/McCutchen/Tabata OF will be pretty sick. For a guy that has had only 1 good season it is a great haul for the Buccos.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
Gotta love the fundamentals of this team. Why can't we get bunts down?
Via Rotoworld
Sammy Sosa said Wednesday that he's ready to announce his formal retirement from baseball.
"I will calmly wait for my induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame," said a delusional Sosa. "I always played with love and responsibility and I assure you that I will not answer nor listen to rumors. If anything ugly comes up in the future, we will confront it immediately, but with all our strength because I will not allow anybody to tarnish what I did in the field."
Re: Via Rotoworld
He sort of tarnished what he did on the field with the bat incident, but unless someone comes up with some actual evidence that he was juicing... well it's going to be hard to keep him out of the HoF.
Re: Via Rotoworld
most likely.
bonds and palmeiro are out...mcgwire took himself out of the mix by being very a very fringe candidate to begin with...they don't got sosa.
he doesn't even have a credible rumor tied to him though almost all of us here, and almost every non-cubs fan overall, have our own opinion on the subject that paints sosa as a probable user of PEDs.
still...unless something happens it's gonna be hard to keep him out too long if he doesn't go 1st voting.
Re: Via Rotoworld
yeah, at some point the consensus will become "well, 50% of hitters took it, and with that benefit these were the best guys". Sort of like Shoeless Joe memory of the alleged crime will fade. It will certainly be interesting.
Re: Via Rotoworld
Sosa will never get in, as much as it pains me to say it.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
I've got a question that makes me sound like a Noob, but is the password we use to log into TCR the same one we should use to get into the parachat? And, why can't I get Mozilla to work in parachat, is it because of Java? Thanks to anyone who can help my clueless ass.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
Parachat and TCR passwords are separate....and of course parachat doesn't require a username or password although if you like going by the same name you can register.
Firefox seems to work fine for me with Parachat and Java. I guess make sure you have the latest version of Java if you're on a PC.
My Mac never asks for it, but when I had a PC it was always updating it.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
I have had similar issues with Firefox. Google Chrome won't load it at all, even with all the Java updates.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
-edit- doh, redundant post...yeah, it's java...either not installed or enabled.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
Go HOFF!!! GW RBI. Good job by Gregg to close the door.
Nice to be back above .500.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
Another very nice job by Lilly.
Nice rebound by the bullpen.
Much appreciated.
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
Was I the only one cursing fiercely when Lilly went back out for the 7th? That goose was cooked in the 6th.
A quick chat with Michael Wuertz
Went to Sox game tonight against Oakland.
I went down to bullpen bar before game and sat by RF fence as A's took batting practice.
Wuertz was shagging and a ball came over by the fence.
I said "Michael, Cubs could have used you last night."
He stopped and leaned against the fence, smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
I said "you wouldn't have thrown a cock high fastball to Francour." He laughed.
And then I said "How's Oakland treating you?"
He said "They are letting me pitch here."
I said good luck and he waved and went back to shagging.
The Braves for the first time since 1987 do not have Smoltz or Glavine in their organization.
~tip of the cap~
re:A quick chat with Michael Wuertz
Thanks for the anecdote, jacos! Good stuff.
Re: A quick chat with Michael Wuertz
Re: A quick chat with Michael Wuertz
Nice one, Jacos.
But...uh...wtf are you doing at a Sox game?
Re: Cubs & Giants Split at Fitch
Before I forget. That was one helluva a play Theriot made tonight.
Recent comments
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.
I hope the D and bullpen show up. Cubs haven't had much luck against Davies, and he's been going well lately. A little uncomfortable with the Cards only 6.5 back--feels like they're right on our tails compared to the 11 game lead I've grown accustomed to.
Cardinals, stop that. Right now.
In a year or two, a lot of fans are going to point at trading him as a mistake. He'll probably be slashing something like 280/400/480 for Seattle at the time. Of course, by WAR, he'll still be worth less than 3, since we're talking zero defensive value.
vogelbomb debut for tacoma (AAA SEA)... 3-3, 1bb, 1 HR, 1 double...DH'd.
while he mostly played 1st considerably more than DH for AAA CHC, DJ Peterson is probably going to see most of the time at 1st for AAA SEA.
Carl Jr.! Very nice!
Baez with another "WTF?" play trying a delayed steal with a runner on 3rd and one out.. Remarkable talent, needs to make better decisions.
m.montgomery up in the pen with a man on 2nd, 2 out, and rondon 20 pitches into the inning.
...and rondon ends it 22 pitches in with a popout to RF.
I gotta say with the crappy defense the Brewers have displayed outside of Fowler I'm pretty disappointed the offense hasn't shown more and Rizzo seems to be very swing happy lately. That said my god am I happy Madden has finally given Carl Edwards a chance after multiple times up with nothing. I don't think he could handle a starting role with his body frame but his stuff plays so well in a relief role and he seems to be able to handle high stress situations very well.
2nd at bat. Fowler is good for the Cubs run differential.
welcome back fowler.
More slow news...
Did Davey Martinez have to bring the shotgun?

BLACK HAT USA — Las Vegas — In a perfect world, that USB device you insert into your computer can be completely trusted. But the real world is this: Reprogramming can turn a USB device into a weapon.
Security researchers Karsten Nohl and Jakob Lell demonstrated here at Black Hat USA today what they called "BadUSB." They reverse-engineered and patched the USB firmware in less than two months, and once reprogrammed, the USB can be transformed into a malicious vehicle to compromise a network.
The implications of the attack are significant. For example, a device could be made to emulate a keyboard and issue commands on behalf of the logged-in user to steal files or install malware. It could also boot a small virus prior to the operating system booting up, or be made to spoof a network card and change the computer's DNS setting to redirect traffic.
Nohl and Lell demonstrated multiple attacks, including one showing how a Google Android phone plugged into a computer could be used to essentially intercept all of that computer's web traffic.
There isn't much in the way of defense against the attack, Nohl said. Malware scanners cannot access the firmware running on the devices, and USB firewalls that block certain device classes do not yet exist. In addition, detecting BadUSB based on behavioral detection is difficult because when it changes it persona it looks like the user has plugged in a new device.
Cleaning up after an attack is difficult because reinstalling the operating system does not address the issue, the researchers said in a summary of their findings The USB thumb drive, from which the operating system is reinstalled, may already be infected, as may the hardwired webcam or other USB components inside the computer. A BadUSB device could also replace the computer's BIOS by emulating a keyboard and unlocking a hidden file on the USB thumb drive.
Finding a solution is tricky. Whitelisting USB devices is an incomplete answer, Nohl explained, since not all USB devices have unique serial numbers and operating systems don't have effective whitelisting mechanisms for USBs yet. Malware scans come up short because malicious firmware can spoof legitimate firmware, and firmware can typically only be read back with the help of that firmware, he said.
"Attacks using USB flash drives are nothing new -- Stuxnet is an example of a USB-delivered virus which targeted a nuclear power plant in Iran -- what has changed with BadUSB is the level of sophistication," Ken Jones, vice president of engineering and product management Imation Mobile Security, said in a statement. "It modifies the controller firmware on the device hardware, not the data stored on the device. The infected device can then pass on that infection whether or not there is any data stored on the USB."
Preventing BadUSB from infecting a device requires that the controller firmware is locked down and not changeable by an unauthorized agent, he adds.
"In order to block BadUSB, USB storage devices need to prevent a hacker from reading or changing the firmware and ensure that the firmware is digitally signed so if it did get modified, the secure device will not operate with the modified firmware," he explained. "FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification is validation of these benchmark mechanisms. Secure USB drives have always been an important tool for protecting and securing enterprise data. Now those same mechanisms are paramount for protecting the integrity of the USB devices themselves."

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

19-Year-Old L.A. Woman Kidnapped on Christmas, Held for a Week+
Sheriff's deputies rescued a 19-year-old woman who was kidnapped on Christmas Day, kept captive for more than a week, and sexually assaulted, authorities said.
The rescue happened Saturday after the cops tracked down the suspect, 19-year-old Giovanni McKinnis, and found the victim at the same apartment in Palmdale, deputies said.
The man ...
... is the teen's boyfriend as well as the father of their child, sheriff's officials said.

McKinnis was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, kidnapping, domestic violence, violating a restraining order, false imprisonment and more, deputies said.
Cops say the unidentified victim was assaulted and kidnapped from her mom's home Dec. 25. But the mother didn't call authorities because she was afraid of what the suspect might do to her daughter and the couple's child, according to deputies.
The man allegedly told the mom he'd harm them, cops said.
But on Saturday the victim's father reported the woman missing. That's when deputies sprung into action and headed to that apartment, in the 1100 block of East Avenue Q-4, where they found the McKinnis and the victim, they said.
The Sheriff's Department states:
When the deputies found the victim, she was hidden inside the apartment and appeared extremely fearful.
McKinnis was jailed in lieu of $100,000 bail.

- My Villas in Bali
- Tejaprana Resort & Spa
- The Pavilions, Bali

The location of your Bali hotel is important. If you are traveling to Bali, &StateorCountry for business, you may want to consider getting a hotel close to the airport or near your meeting venue. By doing so, you can really cut down on transportation costs and time. You may also want to book a hotel that offers free wifi just in case you need to get some work done.
If you are traveling for vacation, figure out which attractions or landmarks you want to see and book a hotel that is within close proximity. Although hotels near attractions might cost a little more, you may find that spending those extra few dollars is worth the convenience. You can even find hotels that align with your interests. For example, if you are looking for a relaxing vacation, a spa hotel may be the perfect choice for you.
You'll also want to determine which type of accommodations will suit your needs before booking a hotel in Bali. If you're traveling with the kiddos, a family friendly hotel will offer larger rooms and more sleeping arrangements. For those traveling for an extended period of time, booking a hotel suite with a kitchenette is a smart move and will feel a little more like home. If you are budget conscience and just need a place to rest your head, a hostel or motel may be all you need.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
-It is colourful, it is attractive to the baby and his eyes are always drawn to it right away
-There are 3 rings to play with. Each one is different. I noticed my baby had tried all three out within just a few minutes. He noticed they were different and used the star one as a teether, so he must have realised the differences between them
-The rings had a good sized hole for him to hook them on to his thumbs and fingers without getting more than one finger in and getting it stuck.
-The colours of the toy made it unisex, it wasn't aimed at just a girl or boy
-It floated in water really well
-The rings fit well onto the tentacles
-My baby really enjoyed this toy, he is a fussy baby and doesnt usually play for long but he played with this for a bit longer than normal
The only con I can think of was that it was tough to get into the packaging, I had to hack at it with scissors.
Overall I highly recommend this!
Its a great toy, the octopus floats well and the colours are good. The only thing is my son loves the fish more than the other parts! I am certain he will get to use it to its full potential eventually but we now have so many bath toys this does get overlooked. Shame as it really is a quality item

A wonderful shot May, fantastic colours in the rocks and vegetation.
A geomorphologist salutes you, May!
Ian and Ian :-)
Thank you very much for your visit on my island picture and for your nice comments. I have many more photos and will hopefully have more, when I return of my short stay in 2 weeks. The "geo-history" ist always very fascinating and more so in that place.
This is such a fascinating landscape, May. I love the way the very different colors work together, and your title is great.
Rian :)
Ryan, thank you! Yes, I am fascinated by this island every time I am there!
Very nice geology May - nice earth history. Another place I'd like to visit some day. Chris

Vander Urbani is a great hotel. It has an excellent location -- right in the center of the lovely old town -- but still only a 15-minute walk to the bus station. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the staff was friendly/helpful. The breakfast was good, with a nice selection of fresh fruit. The rooftop provided a great space with pretty views of the city. We stayed for three nights, and overall, I would recommend the hotel. However, there were some areas in which the hotel could improve. For example, we had some issues with the heating system; our room kept getting too warm even though we had pre-selected our desired temperature. And something was wrong was with our sliding bathroom door. It frequently got stuck and didn't open and close properly. We alerted the front desk. They apologized but said that it couldn't be fixed until Monday (after we were planning to check out). In a strange coincidence, we later found out that friends of ours had stayed in the exact same room as us, one week before, and they agreed that the bathroom door was problematic. So the hotel should have detected and solved the problem before our arrival. Also, the hotel only gave us one small tube of body wash the first day -- nothing on the second day, even though the tube was almost empty by then. On the third day, we had to ask for more. Such things should be replaced automatically. When returning to our room after sightseeing, we were also consistently surprised to see that our towels were crumpled (exactly as we had left them); no one had replaced or at least folded them. There are also no towel hooks in the room, and nowhere really to put your wet towel after leaving the shower. That struck us as a design flaw.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The first member of Design Hotels in Slovenia.Vander lies on the river bank of the River Ljubljanica in the lively centre of the old town. Vander's heart beats with the Old part of Ljubljana, where old and new co-exist in a passionate embrace. Everyone can find a place at Vander. Whoever comes to Vander, will leave with the feeling as a local - "Ljubljancan". The external and internal renovation was designed by SADAR + VUGA architects. 16 exeptionally designed rooms are available. All bathrooms offer Molton Brown cosmetics. We offer a perfect sleep with Frette bedding, Moroso armchairs, Diesel and Floss lightening. A roof top terrace with an infinity pool deck is offering a special sensation.
